Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or drop me a line. BTW thanks for quickly catching and removing the editorial comment on the Gaia theory page. Cheers! --maveric149

Just a warning, there are over 30,000 US place entries. IMO the extra wording doesn't hurt and is OK if left as-is. --mav

Yeah, I'm hitting random. I changed a couple before I realized that almost every entry now is a fill-in-the-blanks geographic article. Won't change any more of them. --Nate

The pictures look great! I think they will greatly enhance the letter entries, way to go!!! --Dante Alighieri

Nate, what a great idea for the letter pages! It's one of those things that makes you say, "Why didn't I think of that?" -- Stephen Gilbert 00:19 Nov 27, 2002 (UTC)

Glad you like it! It was Dante's idea to do it. --Nate 00:30 Nov 27, 2002 (UTC)

Thanks for the credit, but it was YOU that actually did it. GOOD WORK! --Dante Alighieri

Good catch on the distance in Andromeda Galaxy! --AN

Nate, thanks for reducing the colors on my telecine diagram! (PNG is too generous with colors, and I keep forgetting to do that. ;) I usually try to keep text out of images, though, so they can be copied directly to articles in the other language sections without being relettered. (It is clearer with labels, admittedly.) --Brion 06:06 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)

About Marylhurst University -- it's not in Portland. It's in Clackamas county between Lake Oswego & West Linn. Unless they've moved it from its traditional location. -- llywrch 05:11 Feb 12, 2003 (UTC)

Good catch. I'll take it off the Portland page, else we'll have to add George Fox, Linfield, etc. --Nate 17:16 Feb 12, 2003 (UTC)

Well, you were the one who not only corrected my typo about Concordia *University*, but properly disambiguated the link. And I live 3 blocks away from that institute. -- llywrch 05:22 Feb 13, 2003 (UTC)

Do you want to take a look at the new additions to the history of Brazil article detailing the period from 1889-1964? I noticed your earlier contribution to that article.

Unfortunately I really don't know anything about the history of Brazil, despite my name. :-) All I did for that article was copyediting. --Nate 06:43 Apr 8, 2003 (UTC)

Oh well. Sorry about the confusion on my part.

I agree: being pedantic is sometimes fun. I edited the Euro article rather hastily, I'm afraid. I hope what I've put there now is better than both what I originally found there and what I left there the first time. This is yet another instance of the way in which the humble little hyphen can be a magnificently efficient clarifying device. Michael Hardy 20:45 30 May 2003 (UTC)

why not just use Mozilla firebird under windows xp? once you get used to tabed browsing and other features found in modern browsers why would anyone go back to a legacy browser like ie? (ps dont take me too seriously)

You're right: I put that tip there back when Phoenix was still an early beta. I'll update it. --Nate Silva 09:23 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I'm quoting the Portland International Airport talk page:

"Updated airline list based on PDX July 2003 monthly traffic report. Removed Mesa Airlines dba United Express; they are nowhere to be found on the record of passenger flights. --Nate Silva 08:25, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Adds it back* Nate, UA XP flights are lumped into "United" as a whole in records of pax flights. WhisperToMe 04:09, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)"

WhisperToMe 04:09, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- Cool. I see they're even listed in the Monthly Traffic Report now. --Nate Silva 17:35, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Today I put to the test the Wikipedia value of "be bold in updating pages". I merged the POSIX and Single UNIX Specification entries. We shall see how well it's received. --Nate Silva 18:47, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

East Coast

Nate. Is it to you I owe the tweakings of my more geo-political description of the East Coast that I added yesterday (Sat. 2/28)? This was my first time to visit the Wikipedia, and I was amazed that I could add something, when a link took me nowhere... I guess my name will come up if I "register" and log in? Cheers, -Alan

Hi Alan, yes I merged your East coast article with the existing East Coast of the United States. Feel free to go there and make any changes. Welcome to the Wikipedia! --Nate Silva 10:01, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Diameter symbol

I came to this page to find out about the diameter sign. I believe it's ⌀ (Unicode 2300, looks kind of like ø), as opposed to ∅ (empty set, Unicode 2205, looks kind of like Ø). Maybe one of you math types could mention the diameter sign in the article? -- user:Nate Silva

I'm one of those "math types" and I've never heard of this symbol? In what contexts have you seen it? Michael Hardy 22:28, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

License ?

Hi, could you tell me the license of Image:Latin alphabet Ee.png and other letters you've created . Are they public domain ? Thanks in advance. Tipiac 08:25, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

They are public domain. I've added the {{PD}} tag to all of them. --Nate Silva 02:47, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
